Emrah Erken criticized the UN Human Rights Council and Navi Pillay. He wrote that the body had condemned Israel for human rights violations a total of 116 times since its founding in 2006, while China, Turkey, and Qatar had not been condemned even once. The United Nations, he claimed, had turned human rights into a weapon against the West, particularly Israel. Pillay served as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights from 2008 to 2014. During this time, the Human Rights Council never condemned China, Erken wrote. UN Watch and former UN employee Emma Reilly accused Pillay of having passed the names of more than 50 dissidents, including Uighurs, to China under her leadership. Additionally, Pillay stayed away from the Nobel Prize ceremony in 2010 in honor of the imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo. Erken further wrote that Pillay later led a UN commission of inquiry that accused Israel of genocide and previously signed calls for sanctions against Israel. In 2012, she criticized the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo for its Muhammad cartoons, describing the drawings as malicious and intentionally provocative. Critics also accused her of opting for appeasement and restrictions on freedom of expression rather than defending it in the debate over Muhammad cartoons. Erken called it a shame that Pillay would receive this year's Nobel Peace Prize, and expressed opposition to post-colonialism, the "Woke Left," and Pillay. #Menschenrechte #UN #Israel (translated)

The U.S. Department of Justice has launched an investigation against five major television networks that organized the boycott of President Donald Trump's appearances in reaction to the banning of certain journalists from the White House, as this may violate antitrust laws. #Hausverbot #USMedien #Kartellrecht (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that CDA chairman Dennis Radtke (CDU) referred to Gerhard Schröder's recent appearance in Moscow in the Tagesspiegel as a "case of moral bankruptcy" and called on the SPD to expel the former chancellor from the party. Laska agreed with him. Schröder was too ill to testify before a parliamentary inquiry but fit enough to celebrate Vladimir Putin's birthday in Moscow and accept a new supervisory board position in Russia. According to Laska, the SPD state chairpersons in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg are now also demanding a new expulsion procedure. The SPD district of Upper Palatinate voted unanimously in favor of it on Saturday. Schleswig-Holstein's SPD leader Ulf Kämpfer stated that the paths of the party and Schröder had parted ways many years ago. Laska asked why Schröder was still a member of the SPD. Previous expulsion procedures had failed in 2022 and 2023. It is not only about Schröder's differing stance on Russia policy, Laska wrote, but also about his demonstrative loyalty to Putin, who has been waging a war of annihilation against Ukraine for more than four and a half years. She also pointed out that SPD foreign policy expert Ralf Stegner had praised Schröder's visit to Putin. Pierre Orthen, chairman of the SPD local club in Baden-Württemberg's Leutenbach, publicly questioned whether this was in line with the responsibilities of a member of the Bundestag's Foreign Affairs Committee. Laska wrote that Stegner had held talks with Kremlin-affiliated representatives in Baku in April 2025. It apparently concerned the future of the Petersburg Dialogue, which Schröder co-founded with Putin in 2001. In June 2026, Stegner was said to have praised Schröder's connection to Putin; now he had attended Putin's birthday party. Laska asked what these contacts had achieved for peace in Ukraine and wrote that anyone justifying such talks as efforts for peace must also be able to explain what they had accomplished. #Schröder #Ukraine #SPD (translated)

Too sick for investigative committees (severe burnout), but somehow still able to take well-paid mandates in Russia and celebrate a birthday party at home with war criminal Putin. An unparalleled shame. She calls the 82-year-old Schröder Germany's most shameless retiree and writes: "Too sick for investigative committees (severe burnout), but somehow still able to take well-paid mandates in Russia and celebrate a birthday party at home with war criminal Putin. An unparalleled shame." #Schröder #Putin #Schande (translated)

"Too ill for investigative committees (severe burnout), but still enough for well-paid mandates in Russia and a birthday party at home with war criminal Putin. A disgrace like no other." Strack-Zimmermann described Schröder on X as Germany's "most brazen pensioner." #Schröder #Putin #Ukraine (translated)

Bastian Barucker stated that there will soon be a Corona investigation committee in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Regina Laska wrote that a photo of Gerhard Schröder in Moscow raises the question of why his trip remains without consequences for him. Schröder flew to Moscow, had himself photographed by the fireplace, and then returned to Germany, without any change to his public status. Laska pointed out that Schröder had returned his honorary citizenship before it could be revoked. An expulsion from the party had failed at the SPD. For an investigative committee, Schröder was too ill, but not for trips to Moscow and new supervisory board positions, she wrote. She also criticized that the Federal President would shake his hand at the next opportunity. In her view, the photo does not show Schröder's problem, but that society does not draw any consequences from it. As long as this remains the case, Vladimir Putin knows that Germany's support for Ukraine means a lot of money, but nothing "that hurts," Laska wrote. #Deutschland #Russland #Ukraine (translated)
